Tips for Crafting with Kids

  • The best advice is to assume your kids will make a mess, and plan accordingly! Spill proof your craft area. Whenever possible, craft outside! In warm weather, messy children can run through a sprinkler to clean off before reentering the house. When crafting inside, protect all work surf. Use an old plastic tablecloth, newspapers or tarp on the table and floor. Place old towels on chairs.

    • Come to the craft area prepared. Look over the instructions and materials needed and plan ahead. A child will quickly grow restless if you don't.

    • Crafting doesn't have to be expensive. Recycle! Your creativity can add new life to old objects. Costume jewelry, lace, fabric scraps, buttons, and toilet tissue rolls are recycled staples for the young crafter.

    • Protect clothing. Use an adult's old long sleeve shirt or t-shirt, apron, or an artist smock that can be purchased inexpensively at department and craft stores. You can easily create a homemade smock by cutting head and arm openings from an old pillow case. Let the child write his or her name on it and decorate it as desired.

    • Very young children (1-3 years old) can craft safely and neatly in a highchair wearing little more than a plastic bib. I recommend a diaper or underwear as the preferred attire! A child of this age can finger paint (non-toxic products only) directly on the tray or can color using chunky crayons on a piece of paper that has been taped to highchair tray.

    • Allow ample space for each child and materials.

    • Select a project that is age appropriate. A child will soon become frustrated if the project is too difficult to complete.

    • Always provide close supervision, especially when sharp objects, such as scissors or messy paints are present.

    • don't rush. Plan ample time for preparation, activity, and clean up.
